Despite the extensive use of porphyrins in photodynamic therapy (PDT), tetraplatinated
porphyrins have so far not been studied for their anticancer properties. Herein, we report the …

To combine the cytotoxic activity of cisplatin and the phototoxicicity of hematoporphyrin
derivatives in the same molecule, hematoporphyrin was derivatized at the two secondary …

A new folate-conjugated platinum porphyrin complex (Por 4) was synthesized and
characterized. The singlet oxygen production of the conjugates was evaluated through a 1, 3 …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been extensively explored for malignant tissue treatment.
In this work, we successfully synthesized and characterized a series of porphyrin …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment modality where light-mediated activation of
photosensitizers in a patient's body leads to the generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen …

A series of asymmetric tetraarylporphyrins was synthesized from pyrrole, para-substituted
oligo-or poly (ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether benzaldehyde and from 4 …

A series of five porphyrin− peptide conjugates bearing one or two sequences containing a
cell penetrating peptide (CPP), a nuclear localization signal (NLS), or a bifunctional CPP …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is now a well‐recognized modality for the treatment of cancer.
While PDT has developed progressively over the last century, great advances have been …

In recent years several review articles and books have been published on the use of
porphyrin-based compounds in photodynamic therapy (PDT). This critical review is focused …

We report here two novel “extended-arms” porphyrins, TetbpyPP and TedabpyPP, in which
four peripheral bpy fragments are connected to the meso positions of the macrocycle …
